NPD analyst Liam Callahan noted that November 2013 was actually the best month ever for hardware sales in the US. "With the introduction of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, coupled with positive sales for the Nintendo 3DS, sales in November 2013 marked the best November for hardware sales on record," he explained.

And while the focus has been on PS4 and Xbox One, Nintendo's 3DS portable has been performing quite well. "Supported by strong content throughout the year, including this month's The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, Nintendo 3DS hardware unit sales have increased by 15 percent year-to-date through November," said Callahan.

I have it at 2.375M for last year through to Nov.
And 1.97K this year excluding Nov.

Thanks for ruining my predictions Nintendo. I thought the people saying it was the top selling were being a bit presumptive. It seems even Sony are ignoring handhelds now, despite having two on the market.

Overall I didn't do very well at all...I was over-optimistic every single time and over-shot multiple sales figures by 100K. But then again, GAF predictions this month were all over the place, so relatively speaking I don't think I did that poorly.

[360] 666K (+19K/+2.94%) would have nailed this one, also lol 666
[3DS] 1000K (+230K/29.87%) still sucks
[PS3] 450K (+28K/6.64%) another last gen laser
[PS4] 1050K (-88K/-7.73%) only one where my revision was better
[PSV] 100K (+27K/+36.99%) lolvita
[WIU] 200K (-20K/-9.09%) god damn it why did I change THIS one of all things
[XB1] 900K (-9K/-0.99%) would have fucking nailed this one

What the heck. Going to give Vita and Wii U bigger jumps than should otherwise be expected because I'm feeling charitable, I guess, and disbelieving of math. PS3 and 360 strike me as low, but I'm not going to argue with math (contrary to what, um...). PS4 and Xbox One are of course entirely dependent upon supply.

Edit: I initially gave 3DS a "boost" to 1.2 million, but I went back and looked at last November, and it only managed 540K. My new number seems extremely low for a Nintendo handheld, but at even 800K, that's tremendous growth over last year. I don't know if I trust 2DS to boost the platform to where I originally thought it would be.
